After that explicit, stark and aptly merciless first album, «Mudanza», in 2021 and after releasing a marvellous album with Burro (project with Isasa) in 2023, Trice returns now with this non-mixed collaborative artefact in the form of an EP. In «Huida de mí» Trice sets four poems by others into music, spinning a beautiful lyrical interweaving of experiences that question us from several vectors, edges and points in common. That is to say, from the confluence.
With the desire of transcending our own mask and history, in order to approach and understand those of others, on this occasion the artist from Alicante has decided to work only with women and non-binary people, thus distancing herself from the male reinforcement patern and projecting, on the contrary, a self-exclusion that makes us reflect about identity. In her own words -What escapes the norm of the system does not live, survives, and I, as a woman/otherness, have inhabited myself as it has been expected of me. Because when one has seen oneself through the external gaze and has always understood the world from there, life has not been entirely one’s own. Then to exclude oneself definitively -that is, to get out of that narrative of vital negation- is necessary to find oneself… and this album is basically about that. About finding ourselves (…).
Recorded in Tenerife with Mariana Hernández; from the album cover (with Beatriz Montiel Company herself as a child, playing mannequin for her sister’s artistic photos), to the four poems chosen by Nuria Otero (Gesto terremotos), Virginia González (Oda a la migraña), Diana de Júpiter (Huida de mí) and María González Martín-Lorente (Roto); the awareness of the alien and the emptiness left by what it’s taken ignite the flame of pain in the darkness, illuminating the everyday chaos to tell a story from there. From the heart of insecurity and with the gesture of self-defence. Because in the end the question is not so much who am I, but am I, and from there, is there the possibility of a we? Trice would like to think so.
